Received a No Objection Letter from Health Canada in response to IntelGenx’s amended Clinical Trial Application for the ongoing Montelukast VersaFilm® Phase 2a (“BUENA”) clinical trial in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s Disease.

Announced that a cannabis-infused VersaFilm® product has been finalized with its co-development partner, Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY) (“Tilray®”) and all manufacturing scale-up work has been successfully completed.

Signed a binding term sheet with Orivas for the commercialization of RIZAPORT® pursuant to which Orivas will obtain exclusive rights to market and sell RIZAPORT® in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland, with the right of first refusal for a predefined term to include the Republic of Belarus and/or the Republic of Ukraine, as well as any of the Scandinavian countries (Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway).

"There are several very near-term milestones that represent potential value inflection points for our Company,” said Dr. Horst G. Zerbe, CEO of IntelGenx. “We are anticipating receipt of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s decision on our 505(b)(2) New Drug Application for RIZAPORT® VersaFilm® for the treatment of acute migraines later today. On the heels of that, we also expect to receive Health Canada’s requisite micro-processing license in the coming weeks, which will enable us to begin commercial production of cannabis-infused oral films for our partner, Tilray®, with product sales expected to begin as soon as practicable thereafter. In addition, we are planning to resume enrollment for our Phase 2a BUENA trial at our Canadian sites under a Health Canada-approved dose increase and are looking forward to providing initial trial data as they become available.”
